My name is Shareka Alexander and it is my privilege to serve as one of The Mayor’s Cradle to Career VISTA’s. For my year of service I will be working with The Kentucky Youth Career Center as their Training / Curriculum Development VISTA.

In participating in the AmeriCorps VISTA program, I will serve as a change agent by leading the charge to push the boundaries of what can be done in my community to help youth and adults living in poverty. I will be the connector between community leaders, entrepreneurs, and other community stakeholders to help improve the education of youth and adults coming from poverty circumstances. In addition, I will trigger growth in learning within my organization and community to help individuals living in poverty overcome obstacles. ​​

Learning To Love Shareka:• I am 34 years old; I don’t look it I know…• I am a certified Special Education teacher • I have a Rank I teaching certification• I love to host events – I consider myself the world’s best hostess• I am always the life of the party • I love to travel – who doesn’t • I’m gorgeous, smart, and funny • And if you haven’t noticed I have a HUGE ego!

I am excited to serve my community and I look forward to new experiences. If you see me out please introduce yourself.
